Hi there.
I have just bought 3 new goldfish 9 days ago and one of them looked a bit dodgy so treated with salt. I suspected that it was fin rot spreading today so went to the big fish place locally and was advised to use MyXazin.
It says on the bottle to be careful as it stains, but nothing about wearing gloves or anything.
I see it contains formaldehyde and malachite green. Looked these up online and to my horror found that malachite green is carcinogenic.#
I am now worried sick. I split some on my skin while measuring it out and didn't wash it off for several minutes while sorting the fish out. After it was in the in tank i had my hands in AND I HAVE 2 CUTS ON MY HAND!
